Whānau Cabins is a proud Māori, whānau-based business from Ngāti Maru, helping whānau across Aotearoa access affordable housing. We design and build quality cabins to sell and rent — creating warm, welcoming Kāinga (home) environments where whānau can thrive. Our guiding belief: “It’s not the size of the whare, it’s the aroha within.”



We’re looking for a Business cards and FB Cover that embodies whānau, aroha, and connection to whenua. The main inspiration should come from our local marae, Te Upoko o Te Whenua, whose wharenui shape and patterns reflect our identity, culture, and strength. Designers are encouraged to use the wharenui silhouette as the central form of the logo — stylised, simple, and meaningful — not an exact replica.



The final design should feel modern yet grounded in te ao Māori, with clean lines, balance, and a warm sense of belonging. It needs to look great in black and white as well as colour.
